where did Cahill say that?
he is one of the players who is everton through and through
LOL at how long this thread is
To be honest I'd imagine Cahill hasn't got a clue what's going on with this deal.Dillon said:Cahill's interview is on the Sky Sports website. Whilst people are taking the positives he also says Joleon will be playing for Everton on Saturday and will give everything. Sounds like it's going to be a deadline day deal if anything happens.
Thats bullshit, because what it suggests is that City will offer 18m records unseen.Sam Eto's P45 said:I picked this up from news now....

Because £18 million is reasonable for someone with a long-term injury problem, but £22 million…
Manchester City are effectively offering Everton £4 million for a glimpse at Joleon Lescott’s medical records. The Citizens have offered £18 million for the defender but will not improve their bid without checking they are not paying for a new physio room play buddy for Michael Johnson.
Reports suggest Mark Hughes would then be willing to part with £22 million once he is satisfied that Lescott is in decent shape.
It remains to be seen whether the additional money on offer would make David Moyes any more willing to part with the 26-year-old.
Nothing earth shattering in the article but I suppose it backs up what Stu was saying yesterday??
I cna't really agree with your first paragraph, for £30m they'd snap our had off for Cahill, that's Rooney/Alonso/Robinho territory, and Cahill isn't anywhere as good as those three. Plus, given the chance of leaving for a Champion's League team, I reckon Cahill would be on his way.Thierry said:No Cahill is one of the very few players in todays game who really cares about the club he plays for and its fans, everton do seem to have quite a loyal team and cahill sticks out. I think even if we put a £30,000,000 bid in for cahill they would say no.
it isn't a matter of if lescott signs no, it is when will he sign. Everton fans no longer want him, £22,000,000 will get us lescott.

As for the second paragraph, I hope you're right but I'm not as confident. This all hinges on the Moyes/Lescott relationship, if Lescott makes it clear he won't at all be happy if he's forced to stay then Moyes, I believe, will sell him for £22m. If Moyes thinks he can keep Lescott without him being too great a disruptive influence then he'll stay.
